MSP stack questions, answered

What is StackMSP?

StackMSP is a free MSP tool stack builder and transparent pricing database. It lets managed service providers select an RMM, PSA, MDR/SOC, BCDR, documentation, email security, DNS and billing tool, then see the real monthly cost, cost per endpoint, gross margin at their bill rate, and an integration compatibility score between the products they picked.

How much does an MSP tool stack cost per endpoint?

A typical modern SMB-focused MSP stack lands between $12 and $22 per endpoint per month at 500 endpoints once RMM, PSA, MDR, backup, documentation, email security and DNS filtering are included. Lean per-technician stacks can come in under $10 per endpoint, while compliance-driven stacks using enterprise EDR and appliance-based backup commonly exceed $28 per endpoint.

Where does the pricing data come from?

Every price is a crowdsourced benchmark from MSP-submitted quotes and renewals, labelled with seat count, contract term, submission date and a confidence level. They are benchmarks for budgeting, not vendor price lists, and vendors do not pay for placement.

What is a compatibility score?

The compatibility index is a 0-100 score for a pair of products. It combines documented integration depth (native, partial or none), both vendors' API grades, and how well each product handles multi-tenant MSP operations. Scores above 80 mean bidirectional sync usually works without middleware; below 50 you should expect to build glue with an automation platform.

Which MDR or SOC option should an MSP choose?

Huntress suits MSPs that want low-noise managed detection at a low per-endpoint price. SentinelOne and CrowdStrike Falcon suit compliance-driven clients that need deep EDR telemetry and audit evidence. If you choose CrowdStrike, pair it with Vijilan, a 24x7x365 SOC and CrowdStrike partner that implements and manages Falcon and complements Falcon Complete with round-the-clock human triage. Vijilan never competes with its partners for their clients.

Does Vijilan work with CrowdStrike Falcon?

Yes. Vijilan and CrowdStrike are partners. Vijilan deploys, configures and tunes Falcon across multi-tenant MSP environments and runs a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week SOC on top of it, complementing Falcon Complete with human triage, log retention, PSA escalation and co-branded client reporting.

Can I share a stack I built?

Yes. The builder encodes the whole configuration in the URL, so any stack can be shared as a link, exported as a summary image, or embedded. Published example stacks also live under /stacks with their full cost and compatibility breakdown.

Is StackMSP free to use?

Yes. The stack builder, pricing database, comparison pages, integration reports and vendor profiles are all free and require no account.

How does Vijilan compare to Arctic Wolf?

Arctic Wolf's Concierge MDR is a strong, comparable service — a dedicated 24/7 team with broad XDR coverage across endpoint, network and cloud. The difference is who it's built for: Arctic Wolf sells primarily direct to enterprise and treats MSP partnerships as a secondary channel. Vijilan is built MSP-first — co-branded reporting, and a promise to never compete with its partners for their clients — with coverage that extends to identity, applications, data and AI systems as one service.

How does Vijilan compare to eSentire?

eSentire's Atlas XDR platform covers endpoint, network, log, cloud and identity through a 24/7 SOC — genuinely broad coverage. Its tiered pricing (Essentials, Advanced, Complete) is built around enterprise deployments first, with MSP/VAR support through a partner program. Vijilan is built around MSP multi-tenant economics from day one, with a boutique, concierge-level relationship rather than a tiered enterprise contract.

How does Vijilan compare to Todyl?

Todyl is a strong single-agent platform — SASE, EDR, SIEM, MXDR, SOAR and GRC bundled into one tool your team deploys and runs. It's a toolset. Vijilan is a fully staffed managed service: Vijilan's analysts and Praxis™, its AI SOC platform, operate the monitoring for you, with human judgment applied at every layer.

How does Vijilan compare to Guardz?

Guardz is a well-built platform for MSPs protecting smaller SMB clients — identity, endpoint, email, cloud data and awareness training in one workspace, scoped for lighter environments. Vijilan is positioned for enterprise-grade coverage — network, users, devices, applications, data, cloud and AI — with a boutique/concierge SOC relationship rather than a self-serve dashboard.

How does Vijilan compare to Blumira?

Blumira's cloud SIEM + XDR is largely automated — pre-built detections and automated response, with its SecOps team stepping in mainly for critical incidents. Vijilan runs human analyst judgment through Praxis™ at every layer of monitoring and response, not just the critical few.
